Bub, I’m not nearly as cynical as that guy is to think Nolan mailed it in and didn’t want to make that movie. It was too big and too good for that. I certainly think it merits several viewings and will be much more appreciated with age. I just thought he offered an interesting take.

140 and 141 — no kidding. It seems like Hamels was the only good thing happening in Philly this year, and he has one of those games that makes them think twice about that huge contract they just gave him.

I have to say, if it’s a Braves-Pirates one-game playoff, I would be very excited to see that. We’re the team that cursed them to 20 years of obscurity. Hard to get a better narrative going than that one. If that game ended in a walk-off, for either team, it’d be legendary.

@144/145- so true. And all the flashback packages on the broadcast would be great.

I realize this is a change of heart, but I’m very concerned that the Dempster/Delgado deal will rise from the ashes on Monday or Tuesday. If one of the big three go in a trade, the return has got to be under contract thru at least next year. Ivecreally come around to that.

You guys! Have you been under a rock?! We got Bautista! I can’t believe the Blue Jays were willing to give him up, but who cares?! BOMB City time! Wren strikes again!

I mean now we can say that we didn’t only pick up a 41 year old, triple-retread that a team “worse” than us threw on the garbage heap, while the rest of the league made real trades. We can say that, right? Right? We got Bautista?
